EXHAUST SPILLAGE AND TESTING PROCEDURE
There is a spill switch located on the back of the stove below the draft hood, which is designed to
shut down the stove in the case of a blocked flue or a severe downdraft. The switch acts as a safety
shutoff to prevent carbon monoxide or unburned gas leaking into the room.
TO TEST FOR SPILLAGE:
1. Start all exhaust fans in the home, then close all doors and windows in the room.
2. Locate the spill tube, which extends to front of stove at top of grill (as shown below).
3. Turn the appliance on and adjust to highest setting. Leave the fan off.
4.
Wait five minutes
, then use a match or other device which creates smoke to test for a draft.
Place the match in front of the spill tube (you may want to place a piece of scrap steel or
aluminum foil under the match to block the natural convection air supplied through the
convection grill). The smoke or flame should be drawn into the spill tube (see Normal draft
below). If it is not, wait five minutes and try again. If there is still no draw, turn the unit off
and check the venting for the cause. You may need to seek expert advice.
NOTE:
For high wind areas, the use of a high wind termination cap is recommended.
